When operating on a mobile device, the audio generation system102 can communicate and coordinate with other mobile devices that areoperating other audio generation systems. It is to be appreciated thatwhile in FIG. 1, the audio generation system 102 is shown outside of themobile devices 106 and 108, in other embodiments, as described herein,the audio generation system 102 can operate as an application or serviceon mobile devices 106 or 108.

In an embodiment, audio generation system 102 can connect to one or moreof devices 104, 106, 108, and 110 in order to stream audio signals tothe devices for playback by the device. Devices can include mobiledevice (e.g., devices 106 and 108) or generic speakers or audio signalgenerators (e.g., 104 and 110) or other devices capable of wirelesstransmission and sound generation. The audio generation system 102 canstream the same audio signal from a common audio file to each of thedevices or can stream disparate audio signals to the devices to providecommon or disparate audio environments for an area around each device.The audio signal streamed to the devices can be based on one or moreuser profiles (e.g., pitch, volume, timbre, and other audio parametersset based on preference data associated with the file) in order toprovide customized acoustic environments.

In an embodiment, the audio generation system 102 can connect to thespeakers in response to sending out a beacon signal. The devices canrespond with a confirmation signal that they are ready to link toestablish the communication channel. In an embodiment, the devices canbe passively joined or can be joined in response to a user accepting tojoin by confirming the connection request.

In other embodiments,the audio generation system 102 can continuously or dynamically updatethe acoustic model based on changing conditions in the room or area. Theaudio generation system 102 can generate a baseline signal continuouslyor periodically that can be played back concurrently by the speakerswith the main audio content, and based on changing conditions (e.g.,weather, larger or smaller room, number of people in room/area, etc) theaudio generation system 102 can adjust the acoustic model.

It is to be appreciated that while FIG. 1 shows two speakers, and twomobile devices, in other embodiments, the audio generation system 102can connect to a plurality of mobile devices.

Turning now to FIG. 2, illustrated is an example schematic diagram 200of a audio generation system 208 that can calibrate speaker output basedon movement of a speaker 204 in accordance with various aspects andembodiments of the subject disclosure.

Not only can the audio generation system 208 calibrate and adjustspeakers due to the movement of a listener associated with a mobiledevice by tracking the movement of the mobile device, but the audiogeneration system 208 can also track the movement and location of aspeaker 204 that moves while a mobile device 206 associated with alistener stays still (as shown in FIG. 2) or moves in other embodiments.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, speakers 202 and 204 can be speakersthat are part of a mobile device. The audio generation system 208 canuse a distributed speaker system composed of dedicated mobile devices,or can use mobile devices associated with other users in the room orarea in which the audio content is being played back. In thatembodiment, the area and/or audio generation system 208 may not havededicated speakers, but uses whatever speakers are available on mobiledevices and other personal devices that are nearby. Users can opt-in ontheir mobile devices before the audio generation system 208 sends audiosignals to the mobile devices associated with speakers 202 and 204 toplay back the audio content. In other embodiments, the audio generationsystem 208 can have a mix of dedicated speakers not part of mobiledevices, and speakers that are on mobile devices.

In an embodiment, audio generation system 208 can determine a locationof speaker 202 and 204. The speakers' position can be known beforehand,or can be determined by the audio generation system 208 based on sensorinformation, network location information received from a mobilenetwork, or location information received from the speakers 202 and 204.For instance, if an audio playback is being performed in a room, theroom can have one or more video cameras, motion sensors, IR detectors,magnetometers, NFC devices, and etc., which can track the location andmovement of the mobile device 106.

In an embodiment, the audio generation system 208 can determine thatspeaker 204 is moving in the direction of the arrow 210 and calibrateand/or adjust the audio signals sent to speakers 202 and 204 to providea calibrated listening experience for the user associated with mobiledevice 206. The audio generation system 208 can adjust the phase of theaudio signals and the volume and other acoustical attributes to adjustfor the relative differences in distance of the mobile device 206 fromeach of speakers 202 and 204.

In an embodiment, the audio generation system 208 can adjust the audiosignals sent to speakers 202 and 204 such that the aural experience atthe mobile device 206 remains that same at the beginning of the playbackof the audio as at the end, regardless of the movement of speaker 204.In other embodiments, the audio signal(s) can be adjusted so that thelistening experience (perceived volume, spatial positioning of thesound, and etc) matches a predetermined criterion (e.g., thatestablished by the user associated with mobile device 206, orestablished by a content creator).

Turning now to FIG. 3, illustrated is an example schematic diagram 300of a audio generation system 302 that can provide different audioexperiences for different zones in accordance with various aspects andembodiments of the subject disclosure.

In an embodiment, audio generation system 302 can generate audio signalsto provide customized acoustic environments in different zones 308 and310. The audio signals can be transmitted wirelessly to mobile devices304 and 306 to facilitate playback of the audio signal in the zones 308and 310 respectively. The audio signals can correspond to a common evente.g., a speech, play, movie, or other event, with the audio of the eventbeing streamed to each device. The audio generation system 302 cancustomize the audio signal based on preference data associated with themobile devices 304 or 306 or based on configuration data received fromthe mobile devices. The preference data can include configurationinformation for one or more parameters including volume, pitch, playbackspeed, and other parameters.

In an embodiment, the audio signals can be configured such that theplayback of the audio signals causes destructive or constructiveinterference with the playback of another device in order to preservethe customized sound environment in each zone 308 and 310. As anexample, if preference information associated with zone 308 or device304 indicates a lower volume preference than that of device 306 or zone310, the audio signal sent to device 304 can be configured to causeinterference in zone 308 to mute or muffle the sound coming from device306 in zone 306.

This interference can also enable the devices to be streamed disparateaudio signals corresponding to different audio sources, files, ordisparate events and due to the interference, each of the zones can beset up such that listeners in the respective zones cannot hear the audiobeing played back by devices in other zones. In other embodiments, theinterference can be configured to be constructive interference, boostingthe volume of the audio playback in a zone. Microphones on each of thedevices and other connected devices can also be used to record the soundin each zone, and then audio generation system 302 can use the recordedsound to analyze and determine how to configure the audio signals foreach device 304 and 306.

Various settings on the devices can be used to configure whether thezone should be a private zone, thus limiting the ability of a listenerin zone 310 from hearing what is in zone 308, or whether the zone shouldbe a public zone. These settings can be entered by the devices, thepreference information can then be transmitted by the device to theaudio generation system 302 which can then implement the preferences.

In other embodiments, whether a zone is private or public, whether itcancels out noise coming from other zones, and other settings can bebased on preferences associated with the audio source. As an example, ifa speaker is making an speech, and the speech audio is being streamed todevices 304 and 306, there may be times when the speaker desires thatthe zones are private so that listeners can hear the speaker, and atother times, the speaker may prefer the zones be public so thatlisteners in the zones 308 and 310 can hear the clapping and roar of thecrowd from the other zones.

The size of the zones can be variable depending on preference dataassociated with the audio source, or based on preference data associatedwith the devices 304 and 306, or based on a number and density of linkeddevices.

The visualizationsystem 502 can also depict via augmented reality or virtual reality orother visualization scheme the audio zones, devices playing back sound,as well as providing controls and other systems to manipulate the audioplayback per zone, or per group of zones.

The visualization system 502 can enable visualization of audio sources(by directionality and amplitude), both for the selection of audiosources to participate with, as well as understanding of device optimalposition to contribute to the experience. The visualization system 502can also enable interactive manipulation of the system and visualizationwith a TV guide like display of isolated audio sources that users canscroll through as entertainment or as a decision making tool of which tocontribute their resources to.

In an embodiment, the visualization system 502 can take into account thedirectionality 504 and location of various audio sources 506 and displaythe personalization settings 508 associated with playback of the one ormore audio sources 506. The visualization system 502 can also predictthe efficacy 510 of the audio sources based on the directionality,location, and other personalization settings of the sources.

The user opted permissions 512, user selected sources 514 and theselected mode 516 (e.g., orator, private, emergency) can also bevisually depicted and can contribute to the coordination of the sources518. The cancellation, amplification and other effects shown at 520 canalso take into account not just the coordinated sources, but also thedevice capabilities 522 of each of the linked audio sound generators.Location metadata 524 associated with the devices, the acousticprocessing performed 526, and input received from the microphone 528 canalso be used to depict the cancellation, amplification and equalizationat 520.

The overlay can also include equalizerinformation (e.g., 608 and 610) for the respective zones 604 and 606.Other information such as the type of audio source selected in eachzone, volume, directionality, location of the speakers, and other audioparameters can also be shown in the visualization. The visualization canalso include controls and an interface to enable manipulation of theaudio sources and audio signals transmitted to the speakers, as well ascontrols to manipulate the zones, including size and location.

Turning now to FIG. 7, illustrated is an example schematic diagram 700of a audio generation system 702 in accordance with various aspects andembodiments of the subject disclosure.

A profile component 708 can be present to obtain profile datarepresentative of an audio profile of preference information of a useridentity associated with the mobile device, wherein the preferenceinformation indicates a preference for an aural element of an audioplayback of audio data. A generation component 710 can be present togenerate an audio signal for the speaker based on the audio profile, thefirst location of the speaker and the second location of the mobiledevice, wherein, the audio signal being rendered by the speaker is tocreate an aural experience at the second location that corresponds tothe aural element of the audio playback.

The location component 704 can track the location of one or more mobiledevices based on location information received from the mobile devices.The mobile devices can send coordinates (e.g., determined via GPS on themobile device). In other embodiments, the location component 704 candetermine the location of the mobile devices based on a locationdetermined by a mobile network associated with the mobile devices. Inother embodiments, one or more sensors associated with the speakers orother devices in an area near the mobile devices can track the locationof audio generation system 702 within the area. For instance, if anaudio playback is being performed in a room, the room can have one ormore video cameras, motion sensors, IR detectors, magnetometers, NFCdevices, Wi-Fi antennas, and etc., which can track the location andmovement of the mobile devices.

The profile component 708 can determine preference data from a soundprofile associated with the mobile devices. The sound profiles cancontain preferences relating to the pitch, timbre, volume/intensity,reverb, and etc., of audio played back. The generation component 710 canthus modulate an audio signal associated with the audio content andgenerate personalized audio signals for each speaker.

The sound profiles can also contain preferences relating to one or morefilters that may further adjust the audio signal beyond the physicalcharacteristics relating to frequency and intensity. The filters canrelate to one or more effects that can affect the mood or otherattribute of the audio. For instance, a listener associated may prefermusic or audio to sound like warmer, and so the profile component 708can apply a filter to adjust the audio signal based on the preferences.Likewise, a listener can prefer to have amplified voices relative tosound effects or music, and so profile component 708 can isolate vocalsources in the audio and increase the intensity of those sources toprovide amplified vocal sounds in the audio signal sent to speaker.

A visualization component 706 can be provided to enable a visualizationand interactive map showing the soundscape of each of the connectedspeakers and devices, as well as the audio sources, and location anddirectionality thereof. The visualization component 706 can provide amechanism to enable manipulation and control of the audio generationsystem 702, and generation component 710 can adjust the audio signals toeach of the devices based on the input received via the visualizationcomponent 706.
